Hi

My name is Kate and I hail from a small North Canterbury town called Cheviot hence my name on here   I now live in the Central Plateau area of the North Island and it is brilliant. Cold but brilliant! I am a stay at home Mum to two gorgeous girls called Ariana and Makayla. They keep me busy but I still manage to find some time to do some things I love like knitting, baking and occasionally sewing. I am always looking at new things to make as others are continually inspiring me.

 Mum taught me to knit when I was young but it was very basic and she was always there to fix a mistake and cast on for me! Since I had my first daughter I decided to try more knitting patterns out. I called Mum quite a bit to ask questions like how do I cast on, cast off and increase and decrease. She was able to do this over the phone and I was able to knit all sorts for Ariana. I am now into trying out patterns on circular needles and am going to give sock knitting a go too! I love www.ravelry.com something wicked – so many awesome patterns (lots are free) to be inspired from.

As of the 1st of November 2009, myself and two friends have launched our new baby – Coco Kids. It is a place to see the range of custom knits we are able to knit for people. Some items may be available already knitted but most will be custom knit. If you would like to place an order please contact one of us straight away to reserve a custom knitting spot for the month. We are all busy Mum’s as well as avid knitter’s so time is the key! Come & check out us at Coco Kids.

I am no expert but I am willing to give things a go and experiment. I hope this inspires you too to give some things you see a go as well. Thanks for looking.
